The party of hunters necessarily moved carefully about, for the animals are very timid and shy; and, although seeing their tracks daily for over three months, were unable to get even a sight of the huge monsters. This, of course, was very disheartening: and although orders rrere given to spare no expense, and remain an indefinite period, to secure the only animal that was needed to complete Old John llcbiuson's Great Menagerie and World's Exposition, the party became thoroughly disgusted, mutinied, and were about to turn homeward or search futhcr down the river for animals. Early on the morning of tho one huudred and tenth day, wheii all preparations had been completed to move down the river, one of the natives. Mahomet AH, arising a little discovered a. large before sun-ufemale hippopotamus and her calf, quietly feeding on the bank of the river, about a quarter of a mile below the headquarters. It was only the work of a moment to man two row. boats with four men each, and, with muffled oars, noiselessly float down the river, directly opposite; while the balance of the men divided into two parties, one of which went some distance below where the animals were feeding, in order to close in upon them suddenly. When within a few hundred feet they all rushed in, with a yell, which startled the old hippopotamus to such an extent, that she abandoned her calf, aud plunged quickly into the river, and made directly for the two small boats, crushing in their sides, and sinking them instantly, drowning seven of the natives and Henry Swazey, an adventurous young man of Cincinnati, Ohio, whose remains could not be found; and, as the river was full of crocodiles, it was natural enough to suppose that Swazey and the seven natives were gobbled by those rora cious reptile.
